Super fun and amazing experience - It was a fantastic experience, although if you get motion sickness easy this experience my be hard for you. Getting back on the boat I felt a little nauseous after being in the water. But it's worth it to see the manta rays we saw at least two. I recommend bringing a disposable waterproof camera to take pictures. Sam was our guide and she was super cool and was very informative

Mystical experience afloat - Amazing night snorkeling with manta rays. The guide was friendly, funny, and made everything feel safe and easy. We saw five manta rays, and it truly felt like a mystical experience.

This was even better than... - This was even better than the great reviews. You need to do it to understand- words don’t do justice. Colby and the dive crew made sure we were both safe and had a great time. Very professional with excellent equipment! My wife was hesitant to go, but it was a top highlight of our Kona visit. Highly recommend!

The experience in the... - The experience in the water was absolutely amazing. Sam was very professional and attentive, and he explained a lot about the manta rays in a clear and interesting way. The mantas were huge and incredibly impressive, and I loved learning that each one even has its own name. Overall, the snorkeling itself was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend it. The only downside was the logistics before getting into the water. The meeting point was a little difficult to find, and after we arrived and picked up our wetsuits, we were surprised to learn that we had to make our own way to the snorkeling site. It was about a 30-minute walk, and we had expected some kind of transportation to be provided. I think it would be much more convenient if the equipment could be distributed directly at the snorkeling site, or if transportation between the meeting point and the site were provided. That said, once we got into the water and saw the manta rays, all of those frustrations quickly disappeared. The underwater experience was truly unforgettable and absolutely worth it.
